Consider the following information based on an email software application in which an email attachment is being sent :

From : A                                              Cc : C, D

To : B                                                 Bcc : E

Subject : CV of Amit

Message : Please find attached the CV of Amit.                   with regards

Attach : AmitCV.docx

How many people will receive copies of the attachment?

Key Points

When you send an email to more than one person, you have three fields for their email addresses.

• The obvious place is labelled 'TO:'. You can put one address in that slot (called a field), or many. Some systems insist one address goes in this slot; others let you leave it blank.
• Add Cc: this means Add carbon copy or copy this letter to the following addresses. Anyone can see who you sent this email.
• ​Add Bcc: this means Add blind carbon copies, i.e. send these people the same letter, but don't let them see any of the other addresses. Only you can see who you sent this email.

Hence in the above question, 4 people will receive copies

• B in the "To" section
• C and D in the Cc section
• and E in the Bcc section

​Therefore we can say that the correct answer is 4
